Michelle told Stuff that before James and Mahe were paired, life was much more difficult.

"We couldn't even go to a cafe as a family. James would get very anxious and want to leave immediately. But when we got Mahe, James would just sit there waiting for us to finish our coffee," Michelle said.

In addition to calming James, the two are also paired together, so James can't run off. If he does get far away, Mahe sits down and refuses to move.
